Assess your Purposeful Wellness

Are you living a life with purpose?  Are your beliefs and values in line with your lifestyle?  Living a purposeful life is a personal matter that can involve pondering the meaning of life for ourselves and practicing tolerance of others and their beliefs. It includes taking time for yourself as well as helping others.

Read the following statements and answer to yourself how much each statement reflects you.

  1. I take time to think about what's important in life and who I am, what I value, where I fit in, and where I am going.
  2. I have found a balance between meeting my needs and those of others.
  3. I engage in acts of caring and goodwill without expecting something in return.
  4. I sympathize/empathize with those who are suffering and try to help them through difficult times.
  5. My values are true priorities in my life and are reflected in my actions.
  6. I feel connected to something larger than myself (e.g., supreme being, nature, connectedness of all living things, humanity, community).
  7. I feel like my life has purpose and meaning.
  8. My actions reflect my beliefs and values.
  9. I am able to find inner peace with myself even through the most chaotic of times.
  10. I spend time alone to think (meditate) when life gets too hectic.

If you answer 鈥渟ometimes,鈥� 鈥渞arely,鈥� or 鈥渘ever鈥� for any of the statements, there is room for improvement. You can check out these campus resources for help.
